    Hey folks,

    please forgive me my foolishness, but I've struggled with this one for=20
    awhile, and even the unix guy here can't help me. I *did* get the
    network turned on, but now I have the following problem:

    **************************************************************
    @make-player fool for clown@circus.edu
    fool (#1348) created with password `OpaVa' for clown@circus.edu
    Send email to clown@circus.edu with password?  =C4Enter `yes' or `no'=C5
    yes
    Sending the password to clown@circus.edu.
    Cannot send mail: Cannot open connection to maildrop localhost:
     Permission denied
    ******************************************************************

    How can I get that connection to open? The machine's mailer (BSD)
    does work, I've even got a pop server running on it. So I think
    I just need to get the MOO mailer to connect to the machine's mailer
    and we'll be in business...

    Any ideas?   ;)

    Bonus stupid newbie question:

    Can't get the backspace key to work when people connect through
    EWAN. It *does* work through a 32/70 emulator, and on the standard
    Linux telnet> function.

    HELP!!!! Somebody!!!  I'm drowning!!!   ;)
